Loved our stay!!!

Wow! Perfect location right on the beach! You can see the sunrise and sunset just sitting on your balcony. The condo had everything we needed for our month stay. The kitchen was well equipped so we were able to do a lot of eating in. There was even a place to store our bicycles. Brad is amazing! Very responsive when we contacted him! Will definitely stay at his place again on our next trip to Orange Beach.

Awesome, pristine and clean. Had everything we needed for the long weekend. Close to everything but a quite property too. Looks to be freshly renovated with flooring, appliances and countertops. We are already booking our next trip!

Terrible Experience – Dishonest and Unprofessional Property ManagementI would strongly advise against booking with CastAway Properties. During our stay, we discovered bugs in the bed, which was both disgusting and deeply concerning. I immediately reached out to the property owner, and we had multiple phone calls and text exchanges regarding the issue.Initially, the owner expressed concern and remorse, acknowledged the issue, assuring us that a pest control company would be contacted to inspect the condo. He clearly stated—via text messages on August 9th and 10th, 2025—that we would receive a refund regardless of the outcome of the pest control inspection. However, on August 11th, the owner abruptly reversed his position, stating that no refund would be provided, and that any further communication would have to go through the VRBO message board.This was incredibly disappointing and felt like a clear bait-and-switch. We were essentially promised compensation and then had that promise completely withdrawn.We have never encountered such dishonest and unprofessional behavior from a property management company. CastAway Properties showed a complete lack of integrity and accountability. What should have been a relaxing stay turned into a stressful and frustrating experience.VRBO has been made aware of the issue, and a case has been opened and escalated to their Health and Safety Department for further review.

Hi Cindy, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear about your concern and understand how unsettling that experience must have felt during your stay. Please know that guest comfort and cleanliness are our top priorities. After receiving your report, we immediately took action by sending a licensed pest control company to inspect the property. Their thorough inspection found no evidence of bugs in the unit. In addition, we also had a professional cleaning company evaluate the property, and they too confirmed no signs of bugs were present. We want all of our guests to feel confident and comfortable staying with us, which is why we take all reports seriously and act quickly. While we regret that this concern impacted your stay, we’re grateful you brought it to our attention so we could ensure the property remains in excellent condition for future guests. Thank you again for your feedback, and we wish you the best in your future travels

About the host

Host profile image
I love hosting because it allows me to share the beauty and tranquility of coastal living with others. Each guest brings their own unique story, and I enjoy creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that makes their stay unforgettable. Watching families and friends make lasting memories by the Gulf and bay is incredibly rewarding, and I take pride in providing a comfortable home away from home where guests can relax, explore, and enjoy the stunning surroundings!

Why they chose this property

I chose Emerald Skye because it truly offers the ideal beachfront experience I've always wanted. Located right on the beach, it boasts amazing views of the Gulf of Mexico that I can enjoy every day. This prime location allows me to indulge in a variety of beach activities, from swimming and fishing to snorkeling and sunbathing. I love that I can step out of my condo and immediately immerse myself in the beauty of the ocean. Plus, the stunning views of the sunrise and sunset create a picturesque backdrop that enhances my overall experience, making it a perfect retreat for relaxation and adventure by the sea.

What makes this property unique

What makes my 1-bedroom, 1-bath condo truly unique is its prime location on the 5th floor, offering spectacular views of the Gulf of Mexico. From this elevated vantage point, I can enjoy breathtaking sunrises and sunsets that paint the sky in vibrant colors, creating a stunning backdrop for my beach retreat. I can also see many marine creatures swimming and playing in the Gulf such as dolphins, manatees, rays and fish!. The condo is situated in a quiet building, which adds to the overall sense of relaxation and tranquility, making it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Its cozy atmosphere ensures that small families can feel right at home, providing a comfortable space to create lasting memories together. Whether it's enjoying a peaceful morning with a cup of coffee on the balcony or unwinding after a day of beach activities, this condo is a charming haven that truly stands out.
